Hello, I'd like to officially announce the 1.0 release of our grid client web application named *Gears*, which uses the *Web Computing* framework.
The current feature set of the Web Computing framework which is the base of the web application: * *connect to any BOINC server with CORS enabled* (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-Origin_Resource_Sharing) * *run workunits written in javascript* using our javascript workunit API (see http://webcomputing.iit.bme.hu/wiki/index.php/Workunit_API ) The web application exposes a simple HTML based GUI in which the user can: * add BOINC projects described by a scheduler url and an authentication key * inspect the verbose log messages of the framework * set the number of workunits to run in parallel The planned features for future releases: * the ability to embed a small widget on an arbitrary website, enabling casual users to easily participate in a BOINC project by clicking on a simple button * the ability to connect to other worksources (other grid infrastructure projects) * developer mode to enable developers to easily create javascript based workunits The client can be tested here: http://webcomputing.iit.bme.hu/client/ . For a quick test drive just hit Create in the "Add new worksource" form, and then start the client by clicking the play button on the top bar. The client is open source, the source is available on github: https://github.com/molnarg/gears. (the source code of the Web Computing framework is not released yet) Our documentation for developing javascript workunits, and setting up a boinc server with CORS enabled can be found on our wiki: http://webcomputing.iit.bme.hu/wiki/index.php/Main_Page *We are currently looking for applications that could be run on our platform.* In case you are interested in bringing your grid application to casual web users, please contact us.
